ZOO CO

WINNER OF A THREEWEEKS EDITORS' AWARD 2018

You're an immortal demi-goddess whose only job is to sing and look beautiful. No, this isn't a show about Beyoncé.

Three Greek sirens find themselves washed up on Hastings beach. It's 2018, and sitting around naked on rocks is no longer en vogue. But the sirens are still cursed: any man who hears their voice dies instantly.

It's a bit of a drag.

Award-winning Zoo Co returns to stick two fingers up at gender expectations with their trademark visual storytelling, and stunning projections. Sirens is creatively captioned and BSL inclusive.

"Sirens is a fist-pumping feel-good display of girl power, and a triumph of silent and silenced voices. With a fierce feminist message, this isn’t a cry for freedom, this is a collective roar of liberation."

"Spunky and fun with a graphic novel aesthetic and approach to storytelling. [..] All speech is captioned, BSL is heavily used and all performances are relaxed, giving the show a wonderfully welcoming feel. The DIY design style (with excellent projections) that could give the production an amateurish feel instead ties in with their inclusiveness."
